What are the key components of a selection process for recruiting new employees?
Well companies will start with a job description – from this they will usually develop a job advert and assess applicants against the job description and then choose who to invite in for interview. At the interview you would usually be asked questions which demonstrate your experience and ability to perform in the role. Usual procedure now is that every applicant is supposed to get asked the same questions, the answer for each question gets scored – highest score gets the job. This gives more clarity to the process and then makes it difficult for someone to claim unfair recruitment practices. Employers of course do not only look for how well they think you can perform in the role – they will also take in to consideration how you will fit in to the organisation and how reliable they think you will be.
